thanks but he died. Was fine for about 2 days then dropped dead No idea why and every other fish is ok

Turtles  don't even entertain them. Got 3 odessa barbs and 2 rubbernose plec.all fine,the fish act like a clean up crew getting any waste food. Even seen them take food out of the turtles mouth,no fear. As for the plecs seen them stuck on the turtles shell,that I found pretty amusing . 

Still no change. Cannot see any physical  problems  and he has eaten. Just no idea 

A few more 

That's why I got musk turtles because they don't grow too big. The larger of the two is full size. So I don't have to upgrade  the tank. Thanks for the compliment on the set up. The turtles seem happy anyhow 

Must admit the tank does look smaller than it actually is

It's a 175 litre tank. Did have them in sand in my older tank but was advised to use large gravel so that is what I got. The larger of the turtles I've had since it was a baby and is now 6 year's. The other was one someone didn't Want that's about 4 years . If you look at  the pics you will see...

Musk turtle set up. 

Assortment of cichlids. Clown  loach,Sailfin plec,reedfish,dwarf snake head.pictus catfish and 4 tiger barbs Nothing that's why I'm slightly  baffled
